Liese Ricketts is a multidisciplinary photo-artist: a sculptor, a conceptualist, an installation artist, and a mixer of media to make stunning surreal photographs. Her tableaux of fossils, antiques, vintage art, clay sculptures, paint, and, sometimes, items from Amazon tell personal stories with universal impact. Her stories range from sharply-pointed and political to whimsical and nostalgic. Her messages are affecting and clear, but collage, with its aggregation of otherwise mismatched items (each with its own history and connotations) leaves plenty of room for us to personalize with our own imaginative projections. Her title, Incorporation, describes her way of thinking and working and it suggests that we, on the outside, are actually always part of the mixture.
